Transcriber's Note
-Italic text displayed as _text_.
-Silently changed mismatched single/double quotes.
-The typesetter varied usage of "'T is" and "'Tis". I have changed all
occurrences to the latter.
-The typesetter indicated elliptical breaks between paragraphs and
stanzas with a row of dots. I have indicated these with a row of five
mid-line dots.
-Change the ligature [oe] to "oe".
-Page 192: For the paragraph starting "One's foes...", I moved the
final quote to the end of the paragraph. I found this quoted in two
other sources: "An Oracle of our Day," _The Century: A Popular
Quarterly,_ Vol. 5, 1873, p. 517, and Franklin Benjamin Sandborn and
William Torrey Harris, _A. Bronson Alcott: His Life and Philosophy_,
Vol. 2, 1893, p. 411.
-Spelling and word usage retained as they appear in the original
publication, except as follows:
